Foremost Lithium Reports Widest Intercept to Date; 32.53 Metres of
Spodumene-Bearing Pegmatite at its Zoro Lithium Project in
Manitoba, Canada
Highlights Include:
• Drill hole FL 24-009 intersected 32.53 metres of spodumene-bearing pegmatite
at its Zoro Dyke 1, the Company’s maiden resource area, starting at 196.23
metres
• Drill hole FL24-010 intersected 14.19 metres of spodumene-bearing pegmatite
starting at 174.57 metres
• Ongoing definition drilling continues with systematic step-outs to test
southward continuity of spodumene-bearing pegmatite at Dyke 1
Vancouver, British Columbia – March 27, 2024 - Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology
Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) (“ Foremost Lithium”, “Foremost” or the “ Company”), a
North American hard -rock lithium exploration company, is pleased today provide a drilling
progress update at the Zoro Lithium Property located in the Snow Lake region of Manitoba.
Foremost reports the widest drill intercept to date with an intersecti on of spodumene -
bearing pegmatite at Dyke 1, spanning a cumulative length of 32.53 meters. D yke 1 hosts
the Company's maiden inferred resource of 1,074,567 tons at a grade of 0.91% Li 2O, with a
cut-off of 0.3%, as outlined in the Company’s filed Regulation SK-1300 Technical Report
Summary (2023) and NI-43-101 Technical Report (2018). Drill holes FL-24-009 and FL24-010
intersected 32.53 metres and 14.5 metres of spodumene -bearing pegmatite, respectively
(See pictures 1 and 2 for pictures of drill core from two holes). Analytical results are still
pending.
“The presence of spodumene and the length of pegmatite encountered in multiple holes,
highlighted by over 32 -metres of spodumene -bearing pegmatite hit in one hole, are very
positive in terms of the potential for our maiden resource to now grow in significan t scale. ”
states Jason Barnard, President and CEO of Foremost Lithium. “As drilling progresses, the
focus will continue to build resource to the south of Dyke 1, a promising new unchartered
area, which has confirmed spodumene pegmatite as drilling progre sses. Manitoba is
emerging as a critical minerals hub of Canada and we are encouraged by the drilling results
to date, of our Zoro Property for our Company and for our shareholders. We look forward to
further results. ”

Dyke 8
Drilling on the Zoro Property commenced in February, 2024, with holes FL2024-001 through
FL2024-006 targeting Dyke 8 and surrounding areas. Drilling confirmed spodumene
presence in some drill core. The core has been packaged and shipped to SGS in Burnaby,
B.C. for assay analysis.
Zoro 1
Drilling is now focused on Zoro’s Dyke 1 at the southeast section of the property. Based on
a comprehensive geological review, Dahrouge Geological Consulting (“DGC”) has identified
the southern extension of Dyke 1 as a priority target. This section of Dyke 1 remains largely
unexplored with limited historical drilling. The Company’s objective is to explore the
pegmatite both at depth and along strike, and to test new zones that have remained
unexplored until now.
Jody Dahrouge of DGC comments, “The winter exploration at Zoro, has confirmed the
presence of spodumene mineralization within the drilled intersections at Dyke 1. Several of
the drilled thicknesses exceed expectations and we are cautiously optimistic that these will
provide the basis for the expansion of the known pegmatite system. The ongoing drill
program will test the Dyke 1 strike extensions and elsewhere, as winter drill conditions
permit.”
Drilling will further explore mineralization in order to create what is presently expected to be
a geological framework for an updated Regulation SK -1300/ and Ni 43 -101 resource
estimate. To date, a total of 10 drill holes have been reported to be completed on the
property covering approximately 2 ,100 meters. Refer to Figure 1 for drill hole location map
and Tables 1 and 2 for more detailed information for each drill hole.

Geology
Spodumene-bearing pegmatite is defined by the visible occurrence of spodumene as
distinct mineral crystals, varying in size and orientation, within a quartz-feldspar pegmatite
matrix across the specified interval. Visual assessments of mineral abundance are not to
be used as replacements or equivalents for laboratory analyses, where precise
measurements of concentrations or grades are critical for economic evaluation.
The reported drill intersection lengths, derived from linear measurements along the drill
core, may not accurately represent the true width of the mineralized zones due to angular
differences between the drill path and mineralization orientation. Best practices in drilling
techniques and geological interpretation are being utilized to intersect mineralization in an
orientation that approximates the true width as closely as feasible. Detailed geological
modelling and analysis are being conducted to refine these estimates and achieve a more
precise characterization of the mineralized body's true dimensions.
Analysis
Core processing continues on-site, with core samples being shipped and submitted to
SGS Canada’s laboratory in Burnaby, BC. Core sample assays remain to be announced as
current processing is underway at the laboratory. Results are anticipated to be reported in
batches in the coming weeks.
Option Grant
Foremost Lithium wishes to announce it has granted a consultant to the Company a fully
vested stock option to purchase an aggregate of up to 20,000 common shares of the
Company at an exercise price of CAD $3.30 per common share of the Company, expiring
two years of date of grant. The stock option is granted in accordance with the Company's
